Civil War Envelopes of Iowa
by James R. Miller
Envelopes sent during the Civil War are vivid evidence of our ancestors' military service. Old envelopes
in postal history collections are a largely untapped source of genealogical information. This paper
presents six envelopes sent to Iowa with basic genealogical data on the senders and recipients. These
envelopes come from philatelic auction catalogs and a book about Civil War postal history from which
Philgen.org has permission to use photographs.1 While home delivery of mail began in large cities in
1863, envelopes in rural areas were addressed to the nearest post office until after 1900. 2 All locations
are in Iowa except as noted. As with any source of genealogical information, envelopes must be
studied in combination with other sources before reaching a conclusion.
Upton Coomes of Oskaloosa received an envelope postmarked in “Ne[w Orlea]ns” on 17 March 1865.
(Figure 1) Upton Coomes, twelve years old, and his apparent older brother Reuben Coomes are in
Oskaloosa in the 1860 U.S. census.3 Reuben Coomes enlisted as a corporal in the 33rd Iowa Infantry
on 8 October 1862, and his regiment fought in Arkansas in 1864. 4 An enclosed letter was written 17
January 1865 at Camp Ford, Texas, a Confederate prisoner of war camp.5 Reuben Coomes was taken
prisoner on 30 April 1864 at the Battle of Jenkins Ferry on the Saline River. 6 “Flag of Truce” is written
on the envelope, and this letter passed through the Union-Confederate exchange point near Red River
Landing, Louisiana.7 Reuben Coomes survived the war and is in Adams with his wife and child in the
1880 U.S. census.8 Henry Coomes, probably a brother, also served in the 33rd Iowa Infantry.9

Mrs. Hannah P. Staley of Toledo, Tama County, received an envelope postmarked in Lynchburg,
Virginia, on 25 May 1864 (smudged, upper left) and Old Point Comfort, Virginia on 4 June 1864. (Figure
2) Hannah (apparently Mrs. Josiah) Staley is in Toledo in the 1856 Iowa census. 10 Josiah Staley
enlisted as a private with the 123rd Ohio Infantry on 22 August 1862, and was taken prisoner at the
Battle of New Market in Virginia on 15 May 1864 (nine days before the first postmark) and imprisoned
at Lynchburg and Andersonville, Georgia.11 He was paroled on 13 December 1864 at Charleston,
South Carolina, and went to a camp for paroled Union soldiers at Annapolis, Maryland, where he died
on 25 December 1864.12 This “flag of truce” envelope passed through the exchange point near Old
Point Comfort and has both a U.S. and a Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) stamp. 13 Josiah

Staley's parents are in Tama County in the 1860 U.S. census and both are buried in Toledo.14 Letters
from Josiah Staley have survived.15

with C.S.A. and U.S. stamps (Photograph courtesy of Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries, Sale 988, Lot 141)
Miss Calista S. Trask of “Toolesborou, Lowesa county [Toolesborough, Louisa County]” received a
folded letter postmarked in Nashville, Tennessee on 16 June 1862. (Figure 3) The folded letter is a
single sheet with text on one side that was folded to make an envelope. The letter, written 14 June
1862, begins “Dear Sister” and is signed “Harmon J. Trask.”16 Calista Trask, a fifteen year-old
“domestic,” is in Toolesborough in the 1860 U.S. census, and Harmon J. and Calista S. Trask are in
Jefferson Township, Louisa County in the 1850 U.S. census.17 “Herman” J. Trask of Louisa County
enlisted as a private in the 8th Iowa Infantry on 11 September 1861 and this regiment was in the Battle
of Shiloh on 6-7 April 1862, where Harmon was taken prisoner on 6 April.18 Harmon Trask writes “it has
bin so long since you hab got a leter from me that I expect that yo hab wored a grate deal about me.” 19
He speaks of the “hardest...treatment and the porest grub” while a prisoner and being moved from
Jackson, Mississippi; Tuscaloosa and Montgomery, Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; to Chattanooga and
Nashville, Tennessee.20 Harmon J. Trask survived the war and married.21
Horatio Warner of Clermont, Fayette County received a folded letter “From Capt[ain] WW Warner,
Prisoner of War, Madison, Geo[rgia]” postmarked in Nashville, Tennessee on 25 July 1862. (Figure 4)
“Horratio” and “Wm” Warner, apparently father and son, are in Pleasant Valley (adjacent to Clermont) in
the 1860 U.S. census.22 William W. Warner enlisted as a private in the 12th Iowa Infantry on 15
September 1861 and was promoted to captain.23 The regiment fought at Shiloh, where William Warner
and most of his regiment were captured.24 William Warner writes in the accompanying letter “our
present prison is the third story of a factory...surrounded by a close fence some twelve feet high.” 25
William Warner was mustered out of service on 22 February 1863 at Memphis, Tennessee, where he
died on 12 December 1863.26 “Examined” is written vertically on the envelope (lower left) with the
signature of the Confederate censor who read the letter's contents. Other letters written by William
Warner when he was a prisoner have been reprinted.27
William B. Remey of Burlington received an envelope postmarked in Port Royal, South Carolina on 3
November 1864. (Figure 5) William B. Remey is in Burlington in the 1860 U.S. census, and he is shown
7

as W. B. Remey with an apparent nine year-old son George in Burlington in the 1850 U.S. census.28 G.
C. Remey, a nineteen year-old midshipman from Iowa, is in Annapolis, Maryland, in the 1860 U.S.
census.29 George C. Remey served in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War, and fought at Fort Sumter,
South Carolina, on 8 September 1863, where he was taken prisoner.30 He was exchanged, returned to
service, and served in the U.S. Navy until 1903, rising to the rank of rear admiral and had a destroyer
named for him.31 The envelope was sent without a stamp and has a “Due 3 [cents postage]” handstamp. “Examined” is written on the envelope, which passed through the exchange point between
Pocotaligo and Port Royal, South Carolina.32
Figure 3 1862 folded letter from Nashville, Tennessee to Toolesborough, Iowa (Photograph courtesy of James W.
Milgram, M.D., Federal Civil War Postal History, p. 349)
James H. Reynolds of Fort Madison, Lee County, received an envelope postmarked in Cairo, Illinois,
on 21 February 1862. (Figure 6) “Soldiers Letter, E. W. Rice, Major, 7th Iowa” is written vertically, but
faintly, on the left. An enclosed letter begins “Fort Donaldson Tenn. Feb 17th 1862” and is signed “W.
G. Ray.” 33 James H. Reynolds, penitentiary deputy warden, and W. G. Ray, penitentiary overseer, are
in Fort Madison in the 1860 U.S. census.34 William G. Ray enlisted as a sergeant in the 7th Iowa
Infantry on 12 July 1861, and was promoted to quartermaster sergeant on 1 January 1863. 35 His
regiment fought at Fort Donaldson, Tennessee, in February 1862.36 William Ray writes “We have met
the enemy & they are ours....It was nothing but a deluge of balls & shells zipping by your head &
striking the ground in all directions.” 37 William G. Ray was taken prisoner at Corinth, Mississippi on 30
July 1863, was imprisoned at Andersonville, Georgia, and died 1 June 1864.38 The envelope has an
eagle and shield with “Liberty and Union, Now and Forever!” It was sent postage due, and required the
major's signature. Elliott W. Rice enlisted as a corporal in the 7th Iowa Infantry on 24 July 1861 and
rose to the rank of general.39 E. W. Rice, lawyer, is in Oskaloosa in the 1860 U.S. census, and he
survived the war.40

Millions of old envelopes and postcards await discovery by genealogists. This article shows how old
envelopes document our ancestors' Civil War experience. Other envelopes and postcards illustrate
where our ancestors lived before coming to the U.S., where family members lived in the U.S., social
and political interests, work, travel, and everyday life.41 Anyone may add a photograph of an envelope
or postcard (with the owner's permission) to Philgen.org by contacting the author. Photographs and
data posted for each item will be credited to the person and/or their genealogical, historical, or philatelic
association.

State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI) Publications, past and
present
by Marieta Grissom
The author expresses a special thank you to Shari Stelling, State
Historical Society of Iowa, Des Moines, and Ginalie Swaim, State
Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City, for reviewing the material
presented here.
Genealogical researchers with Iowa ancestors can check some special publications for additional
information.
The State Historical Society of Iowa has a long record of publishing historical information regarding the
people, their occupations, the natural resources, transportation, industrial development, economics, and
many other facets of the lives of the state’s residents. While the publications were created by historians,
genealogists should not overlook their value. All of these publications include many names and provide
considerable historical, educational, and social contextual material for ancestors. Since genealogy is so
much more than names and dates, this information helps to place ancestors in their time and place.
The overall questions are:
1) What publications are available?
2) For people researching Iowa ancestors, how can or why should they use these publications?
To answer these questions, researchers need answers to more questions:
1) What is or was the purpose of each publication?
2) What is the accessibility of the publications? Are any of them available online?
3) Are indexes easily available?
ALL of the following publications, including all of the indexes named, are available at both State Historical
Society of Iowa locations, Des Moines and Iowa City. Researchers should check www.WorldCat.org for
availability of these publications in other libraries and other areas. Many are available at college and
university libraries as well as some of the larger public libraries. Publications available at IGS are
identified.
By most counts, these publications are underutilized! Most likely this is due to lack of awareness of their
valuable content and the lack of easy-to-use indexes. Many indexes exist, but that in itself creates a
problem: researchers must consult many of them to find desired information. SHSI is aware, but lacks
resources to resolve the situation at this time. For the researcher who perseveres, the results can be very
enlightening.

Book Review

Strangers and Pilgrims, Travellers and Sojourners
Leiden and the Foundations of Plymouth Plantation
By Jeremy Dupertuis Banks
General Society of Mayflower Descendants, Plymouth Massachusetts, 2009, hardcover, 893 pages.
The landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620 is one of the best known events of American
history. It was formerly regarded as the beginning of European settlement of this country, a success
compared to Jamestown, Virginia. We know these Pilgrims came from England, but few of us know of
their stay in Holland for a decade before they came here.
The author founded the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, Holland, in 1997, and has a
Ph.D. from the University of Leiden in 1976. He has devoted a lifetime of research to the Pilgrims in
Holland. “This book starts over.” It is a 2 ½” thick tome; an exhaustive study by one who knows more
about the Pilgrims than anyone else.
The men in black clothes and buckled hats (and their families) left England because of religious
persecution. Leiden is where the character of the colony took place. However, the clergy played no
role in the Pilgrims’ establishment of government in the Plymouth Colony--a clear separation of church
and state. The Mayflower Compact was drawn up on ship on the sea to America. It was a forerunner
of ideas in the U. S. Constitution.
The book is divided into seven parts and 15 chapters. Part I covers the beginnings in England. Part
II and its three chapters cover the beginnings in Holland. Extensive geography and history of Leiden is
written in Chapter 3. Part III concerns the foreign presence in Leiden of other English people, English
soldiers, and the thousands of French-speaking Protestant Huguenots or Walloons. Plymouth Colony’s
famous military leader, Myles Standish, is given Chapter 6. The author questions the assertion in the
popular book, Saints and Strangers, that he was never a member of either the Leiden church or the
church at Plymouth. He was one of the “Strangers.” (The Pilgrims called themselves “Saints” and the
others who came over on the Mayflower they called, “Strangers.”) The author of this book questions
this oversimplification.
Part V, “Living in Leiden: Congregation, Housing, Family, and Work,” may be the most interesting
part of this book. The four chapters in this part give us much detail on the Pilgrim homes in Leiden,
family life, and occupations. Leiden was already densely crowded, in part because a third of the
population was refugees. The one-room house was the norm. The hearth was the heart of the home.
Census records, tax lists, and paintings help us know life then. Quite a few intimate details are given
on marital life among husbands and wives of those times. Many of the men, accustomed to farming life
in England, had to adjust to occupations in the Dutch city. The occupations of 130 men have been
identified, of which over 40 worked in various trades in cloth, such as weavers, drapers, and cloth
finisher. There were 15 men involved with selling tobacco or making pipes. The Pilgrims were also
printers and publishers, and covers of two books are illustrated.
19

Volume 47, Issue 2
Summer 2013
Part VI covers the conflict in Holland, Dutch separatism, England’s interference, and the Pilgrims’
need to leave. There were several reasons they wanted to leave Holland. Their young people were
adopting Dutch language and Dutch ways, which the Pilgrims considered frivolous. Life in Holland was
hard and did not attract converts. The Sabbath was not properly observed. “The beating of drums and
preparing for war” made the Netherlands no longer safe for them. The proposal to emigrate was feared
by some, of course--beginning life in an unknown world.
Part VII and the last chapter deal with the influence of the Leiden experience on Plymouth
Plantation.
The 107 page bibliography is outstanding. In the appendix is a map of Leiden showing where the
Pilgrims lived, a Leiden membership list, a list of Pilgrims buried at Leiden, and the names of the
servants, for each family who had them, who were passengers on the Mayflower. The index includes
names, places, and drawings. That so many of these old pictures have survived seems extraordinary.
My only quibble with them is that some of them are slightly blurred or out of focus from apparently
having been transmitted over the Internet.
This reviewer may not be qualified to review such a dense, learned writing as this. Being of Dutch
ancestry, however, I found this history very interesting. For the many thousands of Americans who can
trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower, this book will tell you something of the Pilgrims life for ten
years before they came to America.

How Spreadsheets Can Assist Your Genealogy Research
By Sue Claman
While pedigree charts and family group sheets, whether generated with pencil and paper or from your
favorite genealogy program, are essential tools to seeing the structure of your family, genealogy
research creates a great deal of data that you need keep to organized. What resources have you
looked at? What resources do you need to check? How do I analyze all these disparate sources?
One piece of advice given to new genealogists is to track all relatives through every census possible.
Census records are primary evidence of where your ancestors lived which can narrow your search for
other records. For those of us with Iowa ancestors we are lucky to have several state census
enumerations in addition to the decennial federal census. Regardless of the word used (‘facts’,
‘events’, ‘tags’, etc.) most genealogy programs allow you to add pieces of data about a person with a
date and location. However even if you print out an available report it can sometimes be difficult to see
what is missing. Laying out the data in a spreadsheet can help you see the gaps.
For census analysis I have one surname per worksheet. I rename the tab to the surname of interest.
(To rename a tab, right-click on ‘Sheet1’ and select ‘rename’ from the pop-up menu.) This is a sample
from one of my lines.

I use the first three columns for the year of birth, marriage and death so it is easy to tell when a person
should start to show up in the census, when the person may move to a separate household and when it
is no longer necessary to find that individual. You can italicize if all you have is a circa date. I use less
than and greater than symbols for before and after. Fourth column is a number starting with 1 for the
head of household in 1850 for a particular family line. I only number spouses that remarry or children
that live to maturity and move to a separate household. Next column is the name of the ancestor
followed by one column for each census year. Since the Deahl’s came to Iowa early, I have columns
for all Iowa census. If your family did not come to Iowa but there is an available state census available,
add column(s) for whatever years are available. I have highlighted my direct line in yellow. There are
columns for the census years after 1900 and of course as each census is released, you just add the
header. I use ‘X’s to block off the census years before and after each person’s birth and death.
After George’s family I have a blank line, then Samuel with his wife and children. The top rows with the
header data can be frozen on the screen so no matter how far down you scroll your header data is
visible. To freeze the header rows put the cursor in the cell immediately below the B (birth). In Excel
2007 and later, go to the view ribbon, find the icon ‘Freeze Panes’ and click the down arrow.
Select ‘Freeze panes’ from the drop down options. If you
have the cursor in the wrong cell, just select the drop down arrow again and ‘Unfreeze panes’ will be an
option. After Samuel’s family I add another blank line do the same thing with Sarah’s family. Since it’s
a spreadsheet, it’s easy to insert blank lines to add children/spouses as they come into the picture. If
you want to see who you are missing for a particular census year, there are other formatting tricks you
can employ. First of all instead of having families separated by blank lines, you need to fill the empty
rows with data instead. I used ‘X’ for this example but you can use whatever you want. You can also
change the font color or weight to help you visually separate the families. The important thing is to not
have completely empty rows and to have a name for each column of data. With the cursor in a single
cell in the data section, go to the Data ribbon. Select ‘Filter’ from the Sort & Filter section
(approximately in the middle of the ribbon). The results should be something like this:
You can of course widen the columns so you can see the column labels more easily. For this example
we want to see who we are missing in 1856. Select the drop down arrow for 1856 and you should see

Click ‘(Select All)’ to deselect all the choices. Then select ‘(Blanks)’
and hit the ‘OK’ button. A blank value in the 1856 column would mean you haven’t found that
individual. Immediately the view changes to just the rows with a blank in the 1856 column. Note the
row numbers on the left-hand side.
You can also filter on two or more columns at once. To clear the filter from a column, select the down
arrow again and ‘Clear filter from ‘column name’’ will be enabled. Select it and immediately all the rows
are visible again. While the view is filtered, you can add, edit or delete cell values. If you print while a
filter is applied, only the filtered rows will be printed.
Setting up the spreadsheet and maintaining it may seem like extra work but can save you effort in the
long run.

Naturalizations - First Papers
The Iowa Genealogical Society recived a number of naturalization documents from the district court
files in Polk Co.. Volunteer members scanned the documents and, when the ink was faded, transcribed
the information. Great care was taken to assure each name was correct with the coordinating scan. The
documents were then indexed for easy use.
The images on this page are available to IGS members for $5.00 or to non-members for $7.50
per sheet plus $2.50 postage and handling by writing to IGS (see page 1 for the address) with
the requested names. The front side, back side and transcription for an individual all are included in
the mailing.
The indexing of the naturalization images used the following guidelines.

If there was more than one date on a document, the earliest date was used in the name. The
dating system of "year-month-day" was used.

If the immigrant's signature was legible, his spelling was used for the name.

If the name was difficult to decipher, other volunteers were consulted. Census indexes, city
directories and Ancestry.com were also used to determine the name.

In the rare instance of not being able to decipher a given name, the symbol ^^^ is used with the
first initial of the name.

There are a few documents in which the immigrant wrote his first name and the clerk wrote a
different/similar name; i.e. Johannes vs. Jonathan or Charles vs. Carl. In these cases, the
immigrant's signature was used as the name with the clerk's interpatation in parentheses.

If the document originated in another Co., the document was filed in Polk Co. Iowa.

Even though the document was larger than 8x11 inches, the information on the back side may
not have been that large. So the back side was usually scanned at the 8x11 size. No
information was omitted to do this.

Depending on the original paper size, the document was bi-folded or tri-folded to about 3x8 inch
size. The name was written by the court clerk across one end for filing. This resulted in the
"back side" of the document.

There were some documents where the name on the back side did not agree with the name on
the actual document. (Sometimes this is the name of the court clerk, which is the first name
appearing on the document).
